Welcome!!! I enjoyed your piece with Catherine Hardwicke - great job and thanks for sharing.

I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Thirteen. Still one of my favourite movies to this day. I think Catherine is going to do a wonderful job with Twilight, and hopefully the other books will get turned into movies and she'll be on board for that.

im not really sure i liked catherine hardwicke as the director, since i know she did all like indie movies, twilight kind of came across as an indie movie to me..i dont know. i dont really want her to direct new moon :X

crackhead- i blame anything that happened with the movie that was bad- on her. its all on her shoulders.. New moon better be good. or the mob of twilight fans will come to her house holding torches and pitch forks.

um, i think she should get fired. I mean i love Catherine to death. she's an awesome person and very kind. but she really needs to you know...

I love her as a person. but the directing of the movie was not good at all. there were some good scenes. for instance the hunting sequence. that was good. but she focused on close-ups too much, that at first it boggled my mind, my eyes were just very shaky. i couldn't see good. and then i don't think she pieced the movie good. the scenes didn't flow with each other very well. i mean, when Edward stops the van. i thought they were going to show Rob running and then saving bella. empathize on the [running] i thought they filmed that because there were pictures of rob running.

and I THINK SHE DID AN AMAZING job overall. but just the two things that i don't like in the movie was the directors jobs (pacing of the movie and the flow) but other than that, perfect. absolutely perfect.

She came to the premiere of Twilight in our theater. She went into each theater at the Alamo Drafthouse and introduced to film to all of us. It was pretty amazing! She sounded really excited about the film. Apparently she's from Texas and wanted to watch the film in Austin. We thought it pretty awesome that she came. She seems really cool, my issues with the film aside.

She seems like shes a cool person but I'm really not sure about her as a director yet. Twilight was great, yes, but at times I was like, really what is going on with the camera angles. I saw Thirteen and I didn't really like it. I was worried about Twilight after that. Twilight's angles wasn't as bad as Thirteen but I hope New Moon is better, because at times in the movie all the zooming in an out and twirling got to me.

Yea they should get a new director AND writer! That was a very cheeeeeesy script at times, and the flow of it didn't work very well to convey the love between Edward and Bella....so sad. I still loved it though...if that makes sense.

it makes since to me^^ i dont think i could NOT love it just for the fact that its Twilight.but i agree that it just didnt flow right.and i think she relied too much on us knowing what was goin on in the story because you didnt really get into the realtionships.. if that makes since..

And by the way, I adore you...in frightening, dangerous ways.-Edward Cullen MS
